nbt, Good write up. I was there as well and thought it was a great night. Was on the 6-7pm session but also managed to book 2 hours from 4-6 for only £25 for 2 of us.
Chill Factore are doing a 2 for 1 Tuesday deal in Jan and Feb. It was pretty busy on the slopes until about 5.30 when it quietened down. Only downside was I tried out some K2 xplorers and now want to buy them, so the free night might end up costing me about 500 quid.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

We're Tamworth 6-7, I might just take my Dynastar Exclusiv skis, I fell in love with them on a ski demo day and kept them all day before buying my own. I'm taking both kids, big kid will be obvious in a sparkling new white race helmet and a green jacket, whizzing round at speed. We booked the last learner lesson at 7-8 for my youngest son's friend who is getting very nervous about the whole idea.

Just kitted the friend up - he was going to ski in jogging trousers but I've pursuaded him that he would not look at all cool and he's agreed to borrow ski trousers.

Sorry didn't spot you queen bodecia, unless it was you sat in the window watching from the bar near where I ate my tea around 7:30. Me just back from some fun skiing on a fairly quiet Tamworth slope and a very nice free evening meal!
Spent my hour skiing on a couple of pairs of demo skis Ellis B thought would be ideal for me based on my experience, did the Tamworth learn in a day in Nov, have been skiing once a week for an hour or two since most weeks. One was a pair of K2 crossfires, described as a good relaxed intermediate ski for on piste and a little bit of easy off by the EB chap, the others Salomon X-Wing Tornados. Might well be missing something but didn't like either of them as much as my charity shop Atomic Betacarvs, both the loaners were OK but neither seemed as accurate or responsive in turns as my pair. Is that what you folks would expect or was I doing something daft and making the loan pairs under perform or did I get lucky and bag some really good skis in the charity shop for next to nothing that outperform new £500 ish skis? Handling wise if the demo skis were the ford focus hire car I had from work today my Betacarvs are like my Alfa Romeo every day car.

Yep, fantastic night wasn't it? Sorry I didn't say hi queen bodecia, me a bit of a shy sort! Skis, charity shop ones are in good condition, either very well looked after or hadly used, 6 or 7 years old from what I've managed to find on google. EB chap said they were a good carving ski in their day, me not skied enough to know what that means or the difference a piste cruiser to piste carver makes though!
